Previously Indexed: | Dialysis (1966-1988),Hemodialysis (1967-1988),Peritoneal Dialysis (1966-1988),Peritoneal Dialysis, Continuous Ambulatory (1982-1988) |
Hemodialysis Solutions - Solutions prepared for hemodialysis. The composition of the pre-dialysis solution may be varied in order to determine the effect of solvated metabolites on anoxia, malnutrition, acid-base balance, etc. Of principal interest are the effect of the choice of buffers (e.g., acetate or carbonate), the addition of cations (Na+, K+, Ca2+), and addition of carbohydrates (glucose). |
